CVB 2017 - extensive opportunities for vision solution developers

6 Apr 2017

CVB 2017 is the latest release of STEMMER IMAGING’s versatile Common Vision Blox (CVB) programming library. With a number of new features for both Windows, Linux and Linux on ARM platforms, CVB 2017 continues to be a powerful, flexible and innovative software for fast and reliable development and implementation of challenging vision solutions.

This versatile software provides fundamental functionality for image acquisition, image access, image display, coordinate transformation, image normalization and much more. Crucially, CVB’s full implementation of the GenICam standard means that it is completely independent of the hardware used.

A new device query interface allows discovery of GenICam camera without a configuration file as well as non-streaming GenICam devices such as strobe controllers. It also allows users to query the installed drivers for non-GenICam devices.

New tutorials and source code for parallelisation have been added.

The GenICam grid now supports WPF for cleaner, more modern user interfaces.

CVB Polimago pattern recognition has been optimised to improve learning and runtime speeds up to a factor of two.

With simple, one-touch training, this brings the highest level of sub-pixel accuracy to searches. It is robust to changes in illumination, rotation and scale and can cope with partly covered or damaged objects.

Ubuntu 16.04 support is now provided in addition to Ubuntu 12.04 support. This is the current long-term support release of Ubuntu and is supported on 32-bit and 64-bit platforms on both Intel and ARM architectures.

CVB can now also be used with aarch64 devices such as the NVidia Tegra X1 and Snapdragon 810, thanks to ARM 64-bit support. These are the newest ARM designs and offer both power and performance advantages.

STEMMER IMAGING has been one of the leaders in the machine vision market since 1987. It is one of Europe's largest technology providers in this field. In 1997 STEMMER IMAGING presented Common Vision Blox (CVB), a powerful programming library for fast and reliable development and implementation of vision solutions, which has been deployed successfully throughout the world in more than 40,000 imaging applications in various industries.
